The Secretary must study where fuel-burning equipment not covered by this law's rules could switch from oil and natural gas to coal or other fuels. The study finds which facilities could realistically switch and how much fuel that would save. Within a year, the results and any recommendations go to Congress.
The Secretary* must conduct a detailed study of how petroleum* and natural gas* are used as the main energy source in combustors and installations that this chapter's prohibitions do not cover. As part of the study, the Secretary must: (1) identify which categories of major fuel-burning installations could realistically switch to coal* or other alternate fuels instead of oil and gas; and (2) estimate how much natural gas and petroleum that switch would save.
Within one year after this chapter took effect, the Secretary must send Congress a detailed report on the study's results, along with any legislative recommendations the Secretary considers appropriate.
The Secretary* shall conduct a detailed study of the uses of petroleum* and natural gas* as a primary energy source* for combustors and installations not subject to the prohibitions of this chapter. In conducting such study, the Secretary shall—
identify those categories of major fuel-burning installations in which the substitution of coal* or other alternate fuels for petroleum and natural gas is economically and technically feasible, and
determine the estimated savings of natural gas and petroleum expected from such substitution.
Within 1 year after the effective date of this chapter, the Secretary shall submit a detailed report on the results of such study to the Congress, together with any recommendations for legislation he may consider appropriate.
